RG Chris Kuper Breaks Left Arm; Out Six Weeks

Broncos right guard Chris Kuper broke his left arm today during an 11-on-11 training camp drill, Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports. The injury is expected to sideline Kuper for the next six weeks.

A six-week injury would carry through the first three games of the regular season when the Broncos’ opponents are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans.

In his absence, the Broncos are expected to start Manny Ramirez at right guard. There is also a chance the Broncos could move Orlando Franklin in from right tackle and start either Chris Clark or Ryan Harris at right tackle.
